garageband to logic

Hello, I've recently just upgrade from garage band to Logic Pro X and am trying to import a project from garageband into logic. I was under the impression this was suppose to be fairly easy however, every time I try to import I get a message saying this project is only compatible with garageband. Any ideas why or how I could change that?

Logic Pro X

Which versions of Logic Pro X and GarageBand do you have installed? and which version of GarageBand created the project? Are you trying to open the GarageBand project in Logic or to import it?

Logic Pro X can open GarageBand projects, but not import them into other Logic Pro X projects. If you want to import GarageBand project as a track to a Logic Pro project, convert it to Logic Pro X, then import the converted project. Use "File > Open" in Logic Pro X to convert the GarageBand project to Logic Pro X. After that you should be able to import the converted version to an existing Logic project.
